Howdy! Page 25. I feel like the colors are a bit off, could be more red or something… I have to go do chores now otherwise I’d fix it up. Anyways its better to do edits after a buffer time period of not looking at it.

Getting close to my favorite sequences in this chapter. I know a lot of you are enjoying the comic so far but honestly I’d probably be bored if I was you! Or maybe I’m just bored cuz I know that fun stuff looms on the horizon.

Not much to say today…. thanks again for all your votes, I can’t believe we’re #5 on TWC right now. Its sort of crazy! Today’s vote incentive is a WIP but not like the normal ones, so check it out!

As ever, Facebook, LJ and Twitter got things going on, feel free to check them out at your leisure! Esp if you want to give me some suggestions for how to improve the site, I’ve got a post on that on the LJ. Have a good one!

Haha, I have read this page as a vote incentive before it appeared as an actual page. : D
I really like the way you handle lightning- like the ray of light coming from the tent in the first two panels.
Although, it seems to me that Angora’s face in the fourth panel could use more shading, it looks a bit flat to me like this.
Anyway, another amazing page. I truly love how your characters have such distinctive personalities.

Haha, you beat the real page by a minute! And thanks, panel 4 is looking a bit blah… I forgot to up the contrast on the shading on her face (it doesn’t help that the light is coming from a boring angle for that shot, but oh well).

Oh Pinter have a heart! :C you just throw smelly pants at her and shove her out into the cold? Where’s the fun in that?

hahaha so let me guess. Pinter follows her because she’s holding his booze hostage….All she really has to do is tell him she knows where a magical spring is that bubbles up grade A quality moonshine and she’ll get him to go anywhere ;D

Mucho love for this! And I enjoyed the vote incentive so thx!
Jejeje…
I can see how Pinter’s going to be “persuaded” to go get his “wat- I mean go with Angora. =D

Also, I just want to say real quick how grateful I am that you draw natural breasts. Angora’s boobies are not UFO’s that magically float without a bra; they are attached to her chest and flop according to gravity’s whim. They are also a decent size. Thank you for that, and for taking physics into account in your comics. *sob* Truly, your destiny is great!

No srsly I had a huge thing of iced coffee and the we decided to do shots of rum when I was about 2/3 of the way done with this and it got…wonky XDD I’m sorry her mouth is weird and her pants ended up with stripes somehow??

Hey!! XD I love this page! I just wanted to ask, out of curiosity:
In the 6th panel, I see no nips. Shouldn’t I be able to be nips? I mean, I dunno, but it looks like a nip-friendly angle!
I wanted to say something just in case you forgot, but if you DIDN’T forget and its on purpose or I’m just being a PERV then I really am sorry! You do fantastic art, a pair of lost nips isn’t a big deal. xD
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I love Pinter XD

Angora lost her nipples along the way from sadness to frustrated anger XD

lol I still feel like its my partner who’s the one angry when I see Pinter – and he never gets angry so I cringe a bit from the images ^^’ and then I feel stupid for cringing from a picture of an angry face.

I’d dress him up Pinter style and take a picture but he is kind of sensitive about exposing his top half and would probably never agree.

Thanks! I’d love this to get printed professionally one day but of course that would depend on a lot of factors (not least of all: marketability. This comic has some weird stuff in it so I’m not so sure about that one, haha).

Big fan of what you have up so far. I really like your coloring style. I’m a studying 3D artist, but I’ve always wanted to draw and color. I appreciate those tutorials you have on your your DevArt. Browsing through your pose one reminded me fondly of my life drawing class, learning the skeletal and muscles structures, and then quite promptly forgetting them :<

I found the use of multiple bubbles in the 5th panel very effective for what you were getting across. The comic’s coming along very nicely-please keep it up. Can’t wait to see Luca come into the picture ;)

Okay, this may seem a little strange, but I definitely had a dream about Meek last night. I was sitting there reading it, and Luca was in it? And I was like “whoa, I thought I wouldn’t see Luca until next year!”

I wonder why people keep commenting along the lines of “Pinter, why are you throwing a naked girl out of your tent?! I’d be so happy!”

I interpret it as follows: she’s pretty young and Pinter automatically dismisses any possibilities as inappropriate because he’s a good guy (at heart). Plus, getting hit in the head with a stick usually doesn’t usually commence business time. Unless your into that. Pinter’s only into his moonshine.

I’m a little late pointing this out, but the map here is identical to the Sea of Cortez, making the rest of the map (gentle left-right curve, common to various areas) a dead ringer for western North America, oriented south, and putting ‘the Center’ somewhere around modern San Luis Obispo.

Considering that Pinter dresses the way Generalists are supposed to and they’re seen as a northern branch of the dominant ethnicity, “Dejersi” is pretty simple to puzzle out: “de [Nuevo] Jersey”.

What I find interesting is that eighty miles south of Santa Barbara would be, well, the sea, but either he’s speaking in the more general sense people tended to before large-scale seafaring made ‘north’ or ‘northeast’ meaningfully distinct or the Earth is tilted on its axis. The latter would put it in Victorville, which isn’t coastal; the former (or possibly ‘north’ meaning something else in this world) would put this scene either in Los Angeles or Pismo Beach – and good luck finding a rainforest either place. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this all works out. I’m a sucker for alternate history and weird maps :P
